Your Democrat nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry committed a federal crime and also has not even taken the time to actually pay back the organization she had stolen from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I believe you are as uneasy as we are and ask you to vote for the other candidate. For those who do not have the awareness that Ferry had stolen a check from a former employer and made it out to herself. When caught she fled the scene of the crime and she went on to continue moving. When these issue was brought to light, Ferry apologized, but not to the victim, and there was no attempt to repay this debt, no attempt to remedy her wrong, rather she apologized and publicly talked about how hard it was to be blasted with her own mistakes.
This shows a lack of responsibility for her own behavior not to mention the way she might run the Will County clerks office, if she is able to!
4 things to think about before voting:
1. Lauren has committed felony forgery and our current Clerk's office continues to be without such corruption.
2. Ferry has not repaid her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Ferry may not even be bondable to be our clerk because of her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to support Ferry only showing this might lead to more issues for Will County
More news.
A Will County Board member running for county clerk was charged with felony forgery in 2003 but never appeared in the courtroom for the case.
Lauren Staley-Ferry, D-Joliet, was charged with the felony forgery in Maricopa County, Arizona. Staley-Ferry had lived and worked in Maricopa County but moved from there to Wisconsin before the charge was filed.
From the court documents, the charge alleged that, in July of 2002, Staley-Ferry removed a check from her employer at Independent Capital Group, then located in Scottsdale, Arizona, filled it out to herself for unknown amounts and then deposited it into her personal checking account. The document said she did this without the knowledge or permission of her employer.
An arrest warrant was issued for Staley-Ferry’s arrest in April 2003, according to Amanda Jacinto, a spokeswoman for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. helpful hints By that time, Staley-Ferry claimed she had already left the state and was back in the Midwest, eventually settling in Joliet, her hometown.
.Jacinto said Staley-Ferry’s case predates the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office’s “records retention period,†but it seems Staley-Ferry was never incarcerated. Instead, Jacinto said, it appears Staley-Ferry was sent a summons to appear in court, which she failed to do.
Also, the Sheriff said, sentencing on a forgery conviction would likely be probation and restitution.
She said she did not know about the charges until she was already out of Arizona, although she said she did not remember the exact time she left.
The charges were dropped in 2012, as specified in the court documents. Jacinto said, in March of 2012, the Maricopa County Recommended Reading Attorney’s Office called Independent Capital Group to notify them of the status changes in the case.
The Herald-News called Staley-Ferry on Thursday, Lauren said, while she cannot recall several of the details, she denies the charge.
“I am alerted to that,†Staley-Ferry stated. “Obviously, which was many years ago.â€
Lauren stated the particular criminal charges was “misdirected†basics and therefore there was “nothing there†in regard to the charge.
